A review of the Philly Phlush, the city's new public bathroom.
When I first reviewed Philadelphia’s new stand-alone public restroom — the Philly Phlush — I made it my sworn duty to return in six weeks, and again in six months, to provide status updates on the pilot potty project.
“It’s so nice and convenient. It’s always clean and it stays clean,” Samuel Lawrence, 58, of North Philly, said of the Phlush at Fotterall Square Park. James Garrow, Health Department spokesperson, said there have only been four service calls to both bathrooms and those were to restock naloxone and toilet paper . The only criminal incident reported so far was for graffiti at the Center City location, but the bathrooms have a graffiti-resistant finish so it was easily cleaned off, he said.
At the Center City location, the water pressure was solid and everything was stocked. But someone had taken about a dozen toilet seat covers and spread them over the ground like avant-garde carpeting and someone had put a cigarette butt in the basin of the sink like a total jabroni. Now, it’s time for a mea culpa. When I reviewed the Phlush last month, I called it Center City’s first public restroom, but an astute reader wrote to tell me that wasn’t accurate. In January 2007, just before I came to Philly, the city installed a self-cleaning, 25-cents-per-use toilet that played music on the north apron of City Hall.
